Online services times and time zones

Our interactive online events, web seminars and meetings are available to participants in countries around the world and across many time zones.


The starting times of our web seminars, online events and meetings are usually given in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is essentially the same as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

The following table shows the times in different time zones for some of our typical web seminar start times.

For example, a web seminar starting at 09:00 GMT can be joined at 10:00 in Paris, 12:00 in Moscow, 14:30 in New Delhi, 17:00 in Beijing and Perth, 19:00 in Sydney and 21:00 in Auckland. Alternatively, a web seminar starting at 16:00 GMT can be joined at 18:00 in Kyiv, 20:00 in Dubai, 11:00 in New York, and 08:00 in Los Angeles.

Please note: You can have session times converted to your preferred time zone by setting preferences on the  DownsEd WebEx Meetings web site.
